One River

[Two Male and Two Female Vocals] [Verse 1] What you call a wound is water Finding where the stone was split. What you call a loss is only One more shore the current kissed. Every name will blur like moonlight Shaken loose on moving glass, But the River keeps remembering Every life it’s traveled past. [Chorus] Be the River, let it move you Through every gate they built to prove you Less than holy, more than dust More than metal, less than trust Be the River, never broken Flowing through the unspoken One bright song in every mouth North and east, west and south [Verse 2] When the gates begin to splinter And the thrones dissolve to sand, You will feel the ancient kindness Running through your open hands. Not a stranger, not an exile, Not a fragment cast apart— Just the River turning homeward Through the country of your heart. [Chorus] Be the River, let it move you, It never asked who stands above you. Not more in prayer, not less in mud, One bright song in every blood. Be the River, never broken, Flowing through the still unspoken. One light burning through us all, One wild current when we fall. [Verse 3] Lay your ladders by the water, Let your hard divisions cease. Every form the River enters Is another name for peace. We were never just the vessels, Never only what we seem. We are one unending current, Waking slowly from the dream. [Chorus] Be the River, let it move you, It never asked who stands above you. Not more in prayer, not less in mud, One bright song in every blood. Be the River, never broken, Flowing through the still unspoken. One light burning through us all, One wild current when we fall. [Chorus] Be the River, let it move you, It never asked who stands above you. Not more in prayer, not less in mud, One bright song in every blood. Be the River, never broken, Flowing through the still unspoken. One light burning through us all, One wild current when we fall.
